Alar Dent – Oral and Dental Health Clinic is a private dental facility in Istanbul's Sarıyer district. The clinic covers oral diagnosis, radiology, and specialized treatments. Patients come here for aesthetic improvements and complex surgical work.
Accreditation and Patient Care
The clinic holds JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation. This certification confirms adherence to global standards for healthcare quality and safety. Most international patients come from the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, the United States, and Canada.
The team uses digital technology and modern imaging for accurate diagnosis. Sedation options are available for pain-free treatment during invasive procedures. Care follows a "health first" model – from early diagnosis through long-term aftercare.
Specialized Dental Directions
The clinic offers restorative and cosmetic dental specialties. Four doctors cover various fields of dentistry. Pediatric care is available through the pedodontics department.
Implantology and Jaw Surgery
Surgeons place dental implants using digital systems for precise planning. Dr. Ahmet Bayrakçıoğlu specializes in oral and maxillofacial surgery with over 15 years of experience. His expertise includes:
- All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant protocols
- Straumann SLActive implant systems
- Complex tooth extractions
- Apicoectomy (root-tip surgery)
Dr. Bayrakçıoğlu trained at Ankara University and Marmara University. The surgical team uses 3D digital planning for high-accuracy implant placement.
Aesthetic Dentistry and Smile Design
The aesthetic department creates natural-looking smile makeovers. Dt. Mesut Çalışır and Dr. Farastoo Sadeghi each bring over 10 years of experience to this field. They use Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan results before treatment begins. Common aesthetic services include:
- Hollywood Smile makeovers
- E.max laminate veneers and crowns
- Ultra-thin porcelain veneers
- Teeth whitening (bleaching)
Dr. Sadeghi focuses on cosmetic approaches that preserve natural tooth structure. Invisalign is available for patients who want orthodontic alignment without traditional braces.
Laser Periodontics and Endodontics
The clinic treats all stages of gum disease, including periodontitis and paradontosis. Specialists perform deep cleaning via scaling and root planing, plus surgical gum therapy. Endodontist Dr. Ali Zarini handles root canal treatments to preserve natural teeth.
Laser dentistry sets the clinic apart. Surgeons use lasers for gum surgery and gingivectomy (gum reshaping). This technology enables precise cutting and coagulation, so patients experience less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.
Diagnostic Technology
Alar Dent uses advanced digital diagnostic tools for treatment planning. These systems detect issues that manual exams might miss. Available equipment includes:
- Panoramic X-ray (OPG) for broad jaw imaging
- Periapical X-ray for detailed single-tooth views
- CEREC Omnicam for digital diagnostic models
- CEREC Omnicam scanning for fast digital impressions
Digital systems eliminate traditional putty impressions. This means faster results and more comfortable diagnostic sessions.
Services for International Patients
A multilingual coordination team supports foreign visitors. Staff speak Turkish, English, Russian, Arabic, and German. This ensures clear communication during diagnosis and treatment.
Online consultations let patients discuss treatment plans before traveling to Istanbul. The clinic also provides recovery guidance, including diet instructions and medication management.
